The approach was developed during a marketing sync with Asymmetric and BluePoint stakeholders and is intended to be built out inside HubSpot. Related client context: [[wiki/clients/bluepoint-atm/_index.md]] Related HubSpot setup: [[wiki/knowledge/crm/hubspot-contact-management.md]] --- ## Lead Segmentation Model All contacts should be classified into one of four buckets, which determine which campaign (if any) they receive: | Segment | Description | Campaign | |---|---|---| | **Actively Working** | Engaged, in conversation, being pursued | Manual outreach + deal tracking | | **Not Ready** | Expressed interest but not now — no time, no budget, no urgency | "Not Ready" drip | | **Unresponsive** | Not unsubscribed, not engaged — status unknown | "Unresponsive" drip | | **Opted Out / Dead** | Unsubscribed or explicitly said no | No email; suppress | > "You've got ones you're working, ones that aren't ready, and ones you don't know." — Mark Hope --- ## Active Prospecting Campaign ### Structure - **Length:** 10 emails over 10 weeks (one per week) - **Goal:** Generate leads from a cold or warm list; identify who engages - **Pressure:** Higher frequency — designed to surface interest quickly - **Audience:** New segment lists (e.g., stadiums & arenas, water parks) ### What Happens After Once the 10-email sequence ends: - **Engaged contacts** → move to active working pipeline - **Non-unsubscribed, non-responsive contacts** → move to Unresponsive drip - **Unsubscribes** → suppress The entertainment segment campaign (990 recipients, 10 emails) serves as the established template. Future campaigns for stadiums & arenas and water parks should adapt this structure with updated copy and visuals. --- ## "Not Ready" Drip Campaign ### Purpose Keep BluePoint ATM top of mind for prospects who have expressed genuine interest but aren't ready to move forward. These are warm leads — they haven't said no. ### Structure - **Frequency:** Once per month - **Duration:** Ongoing / indefinite - **Tone:** Educational, low-pressure, informational ### Content Strategy Emails should feel timely and relevant, not static. Suggested content types: - Industry trends ("Did you know cashless adoption in stadiums is up X%?") - Regulatory updates (new cashless mandates by state) - Customer success stories or case studies - Seasonal relevance (budget season, off-season planning) > "A lot of times if they're not ready, what you're trying to do is you're just trying to keep this idea top of mind." — Mark Hope ### Action Items - [ ] Mike Stebbins to develop a list of topics for the "not ready" drip campaign - [ ] Asymmetric to draft and send email templates for review - [ ] Agree on approval workflow before launch --- ## "Unresponsive" Drip Campaign ### Purpose Maintain a light presence with contacts who have not engaged but also have not opted out. These contacts may have latent interest that surfaces later. ### Structure - **Frequency:** Once per month (or less) - **Duration:** Ongoing until they engage, unsubscribe, or are manually removed - **Tone:** Gentle re-engagement; low ask ### Content Strategy Similar to the "not ready" campaign but with a slightly softer re-engagement angle. Consider: - "We've been sending you updates — here's what's new" - Highlight a specific use case relevant to their vertical - Include a low-friction CTA (e.g., "Reply to this email" rather than "Book a demo") --- ## CTA Strategy All drip emails should include multiple calls to action to accommodate different levels of buyer readiness: - **Primary CTA:** "Contact Us" or "Book a Call" (high intent) - **Secondary CTA:** "Learn More" (low friction, content-driven) - **Passive CTAs:** Social media links (LinkedIn, etc.) > "Include multiple CTAs — Contact Us, Learn More, social media links." — Melissa Cusumano This approach ensures that even passive readers have a path to engage without feeling pressured. --- ## HubSpot Implementation Notes - All campaigns are built and sent from HubSpot (confirmed — entertainment campaign went out via HubSpot) - Drip campaigns are structured as **workflows/automations** triggered by contact status or list membership - Contact activity (email opens, clicks, page visits) is visible per-contact in the activity timeline - Email engagement data (open rates, click rates, unsubscribes) is visible at the campaign level under Marketing > Emails - Contacts who click through multiple times are high-priority for manual outreach To set up new drip campaigns, Asymmetric needs: 1. Defined audience/segment 2. Approved email copy (topics list from Mike) 3. Cadence confirmation 4.
